Good hotel
Felt safe at this hotel. Rooms were clean and functional. I had no issues during my stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. If I return to Rhodes I would book again. There is a bit of a walk into town and a hill so be aware of that however there is shuttle service 3 times per day.

Wonderful family run place, quite and relaxing
Lovely family run facility, they were all very helpful and approachable for anything. The room itself was pleasant, amazing views of the hills and bay and the balcony was large (we were in the Earth Suite). The pool area was lovely, clean and tidy at all times, plenty of sunbeds available. There were however some very minor issues, the bed was a not very comfy (the mattress was thin) and there was only 1 thin pillow each. The cleaners would also come at varying times of the day, somethings really early in the morning, sometimes late in the afternoon, so it was hard to make sure we were up on time, or if we didn't need to worry. There were a few small insects hanging around in the sink but this isn't really a fault of them, it's just the area it's in so no negative marks here :)

The staff were lovely, the location perfect and views stunning. The only slight fault is the swimming pool food menu is quite expensive compared to food you can get in town. But we had a really lovely staff and would definetely come back!

A home away from home!
We stayed at Hillside for 2 weeks and absolutely loved it. The staff treats you so well and do everything they can to help you if you need anything at all. You feel like a part of the family. It was delightful to wake up early for breakfast where the staff greets you with a big smile and then get a ride with Charlie at 11 to Faliraki, who is probably the sweetest man you can find in Rhodes (He drives at 11,5 and 8) and drives extra trips if there's more people waiting than can fit in the car. The reception also greeted us with a smile everytime and helped us with any questions we had or when we had to call a taxi. We will definately be back to Hillside as it is the best resort either of us has stayed at. We miss it already and the two dogs who follow the sweet grandmother around everywhere she goes. Thank you Hillside!

They didn’t mention that the breakfast was not for free but told us about it making as think it was for free. So in the end we had to pay for the breakfast we ate and we were informed about it in a bad manner, like we tried to steal it or something

Very friendly hotel.
The hotel staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. This was my first holiday on my own and I was really made to feel welcome and looked after. Went out of season but loads and loads of sunbeds, nice pool, and the bar served pretty reasonable food and drinks from 8am til 10pm. Easy walking distance to Faliraki and a very easy 3 minute taxi ride home. Great location for exploring the island and room was basic but clean and air conditioned.

Excellent hotel and staff
We stayed here for three nights in September. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was huge, and immaculately clean. Bathroom was modern , with toiletries, hairdryer and clean towels daily. Restaurant was reasonably priced and food was good. The staff are all polite and helpful, nothing is a trouble. The free shuttle bus takes you to the centre of faliraki and returns at teatime, you can walk this in around 20 minutes. Everything was good, will be returning next time we go to Rhodes

Friendliest staff ever
The staff at this hotel were brilliant, they went out of their way to cater to us, and managed to get us discounts for the beach water sports. Only downfall is the distance from the beach, but they do offer a bus service, and when that's not available the taxi was only €5.

Decent hotel away from the noise of Faliraki
Nice hotel on the top of a hill. Not much around the hotel to do/see. The room was spacious and was cleaned daily. The wifi was not working at the room, but it worked fine at the common area e.g. pool, reception.

Hillside Studios is very nice place to stay in Faliraki. It's up on the hill and there is no city noises. Very friendly and helpful staff. Car rental is on a good price. Kindly offered transfer to the airport was cheaper than a taxi.

Great hotel
We had a wonderful stay I would more than recommend this to anyone and if I ever find myself back in Faliraki I know where I'll be, the staff were amazing the food was amazing, the pool was beautiful and the only fault I have with any of it, is I couldn't get wifi in my room.

Ok hotel, far from beach
The main problem was the lack of internet. Although they have wifi, it never works after lunch when people are back to their rooms. I didnt like the locks either. Too simple, just a key for a simple lock.

Nice place - close to town
My friend and I stayed at Hillside Studios for a couple of nights. The staff were very welcoming. The room was really tidy and quaint. The only downfall was that you had to pay extra to get AC and the shower would leak on the floor. The hotel is up on a hill (hence the name), and is a bit of a walk from the main town (about 15-20 min). There you can find buses that run to the old town and back. The hotel is located in Faliraki which known for their party strip which consists of a number of bars and clubs (also a 15-20 min walk) as well as the beach.

Good for a family
Perfect hotel for family of 4. Two doublebeds, two bathrooms, two aircons. Clean, basic rooms, a little dated but ok. Good housekeeping. Nice little pool area. A little far away from everything so a car is almost must to have.

Perfect, we couldn't have asked for more. Friendly staff and very friendly owner family. Clean rooms and all the convenient services and amenities you need on vacation. A nice pool area with a pool restaurant that offers drinks and food. The hotel also has a 24-hour small shop for small needs. In the evenings it was nice to spend time in the hotel lounge, where you could also buy drinks. The location was good and peaceful and the hill as well as the trip to the center was not as bad as I first suspected. Would definitely come again.

Ihana loma Falirakissa
Paikka loistava, henkilökunta sekä omistajat todella ystävällisiä. Ainoa häiritsevä asia lähitalosta kantautuva metelöinti parina yönä. Hotelli on hieman päivitystä vaativa esim. jääkaappi, suihku, pyyhkeet jne. mutta kaikki toimii ja varmaan hinta on laadun mukainen.

Mycket trevligt familjeägt hotell med personligt och vänligt bemötande. Andra gången vi bor här och vi kommer gärna tillbaka. c:a två km till stranden, en skön promenad längs olivlundar eller så använder man hotellets gratisskjuts till stranden/byn, som avgår tre ggr dagligen.

Deludente
Prenotato a Giugno per inizio settembre. Più volte ho telefonato o mandato mail per avere conferma che fosse tutto ok: mai risposto. Anzi una volta per telefono mi hanno detto che loro rispondono solo tramite mail! Ma mai l'hanno fatto. Il 30 agosto alla mia ultima mail in cui chiedevo se fosse tutto ok mi rispondono: Yes all good.. Arrivati il 6 sera (all'una di notte), dei 2 monolocali prenotati non c'era traccia asserendo che era stato Hotels.com a disdire la prenotazione. Ci trovano solo x quella notte una sistemazione proponendoci all'indomani di andare in un'altra struttura per poi ritornare dopo 2 giorni. Rifiutiamo e andiamo da un'altra parte (pagando un po di più del preventivato). Overbooking, disguido col sito non sò, fatto sta che abbiamo perso una giornata di vacanza pagando poi qualcosa in piu del preventivato per il soggiorno. Sicuramente se dovessimo tornare a Rodi ( bella ) andremo da un'altra parte.
